"The slave doesn't know...... The slave doesn't know ......" Xiaohuan cried: "The carriage suddenly overturned while walking, and everyone fell." The slave didn't know when she woke up, but when she woke up and opened her eyes, she saw several figures shaking, and they were ...... In the one by one to see if we are dead or not, so ...... The slave and maid did not dare to move again. ”

"And then?" The emperor lowered his eyes and continued to ask quietly, "How do you know that they are here to kill you?" ”

"One of them said that the princess is dead, and she can go back to her master." Xiaohuan raised his hand to wipe a handful of tears, and said incoherently: "Then he let others kill us...... Emperor! Emperor! The slave and the maid mean that they have all been killed......"

Listening to her logically confused and stammering explanation, the emperor sighed lightly, closed his eyes slightly to sort out his thoughts, and asked, "Did you see someone attack the sixth princess?" ”

"The slave didn't see it, the slave didn't dare to open her eyes...... Xiaohuan hurriedly explained: "There are about three or five of them, the slave and maid heard Sister Xia Aya speak, she didn't die, she was killed by them later." The slave didn't dare to move, but she was still beaten......"

"You're saying that people who fell to the bottom and didn't fall to their deaths were later beaten to death?" The emperor asked incredulously, "Xiao Liu also died like this?" ”

"Slaves don't know ......"

Listening to her words, even if the father-daughter relationship is weak, the emperor is still shocked and sad in his heart. His lips twitched slightly, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, the sixth princess is her own flesh and blood, the princess of Daliang, the daughter of the royal family! That child was so innocent, he never loved and cherished her during her lifetime, but the father didn't want her to end up like this!

The emperor didn't notice that his eyes were a little moist, he turned his face slightly, took a deep breath, and continued to ask after a while of silence: "Also, what else do you know?" ”

Xiaohuan lay on the bed, her thin shoulders trembled for a long time, she seemed to be trying to remember something, and after a long time, she suddenly said: "Arrow! ”

"Arrows?" The emperor asked, "What arrow?" ”

"Arrows on horses!" Xiaohuan suddenly raised his head and said, "Yes, arrow!" They said that if you go to the horse, you must pull out the arrows from the horses and leave no arrow wounds! ”

The first shot of the bow and arrows caused the horse to be frightened, and the carriage rolled off the cliff, causing this accident. After that, it was winter, and there were hungry wolves at the bottom of the valley at night...... All of this is seamlessly disguised as a deliberate murder.

What a vicious heart!

As soon as the emperor remembered the warning letter sent by Shen Zhizhang, an irrepressible grief and indignation welled up in his heart, was all this done by the crown prince, or was it someone else?

This is his country! His court! Who is stirring up the storm behind the scenes, planning all this! Da Liang's seemingly docile courtier, his seemingly filial son, the crown prince and the second prince, or someone else, who calculated whom?

Thinking about this, the emperor couldn't help but be angry, and he didn't care about the little ring kneeling on the bed, and walked away at the moment.

He strode out of the room and went straight to the Qinzheng Pavilion. Li Zongquan, who was waiting outside the house, hurriedly followed, and whispered as he walked: "Your Majesty...... Emperor...... The six horses were still kneeling in the Qinzheng Pavilion. ”

Hearing this, the emperor's footsteps towards the Qinzheng Pavilion stopped abruptly. He only felt that his chest was about to explode, so he could only raise his hand and pat his chest to clear his breath, hateful, angry and aggrieved: "Tell others that they are not awake, send him away!" If you don't leave, you will get out! In the past few days, many people have been sent to watch Xiaohuan, and no one is allowed to see him without my permission. ”

"Yes." Li Zongquan responded, and hurriedly gave the little eunuch beside him a look, asking him to do something quickly.

"Where are the people I called?"

"They are all waiting for the emperor in the Qinzheng Pavilion."

The Emperor nodded, raised his feet and continued to walk towards the Qinzheng Pavilion. As he walked, he secretly decided: This matter must be investigated to the end, and no matter who is found, the real culprit behind the scenes must be found out! He will do whatever it takes to purge the government!

Even if it's the prince.

——————————

Shen Zhizhang was forcibly kicked out of the palace, and when he returned to the Shen Mansion from the palace, Shen Zhiyan and Yao Lin were asking the Orion who took in Xiaohuan, and when he walked in with a depressed expression, Shen Zhiyan waved at him and motioned for him to stay.

Shen Zhizhang was silent, slumped on the chair next to him, staring at the people in the hall in a daze.

Look at what he has done in the past two days, he has been impulsive and reckless, like a fly that has lost his soul and has lost his head, and he has completely lost his mind. Shen Zhiyan swallowed the words that came to his lips again, and only turned his head to ask the Orion family.

Orion is a family of three, with simple personnel, living at the bottom of the valley for a long time, and rarely having relatives and friends to come and go. The old hunter was about fifty years old, and he looked simple and honest. The hunter's wife, who was about his age, looked timid and timid, and did not dare to speak without asking. Their only son is a fool, stupid because of the illness brought out of his mother's womb, and when he was brought to the Shen Mansion, he would only cry and ask for the "living daughter-in-law" back.

Yao Lin brought the person back to the Shen Mansion and before he could stand firmly, Shen Zhiyan only asked a few words and asked him to send the person back again.

Although Yao Lin didn't know why, he still ordered his subordinates to do the same. After everyone left, he asked suspiciously: "Grandpa, didn't you say that this take-in must be related to the murderer?" This person brought it back and asked a few words, why did he let it go back? ”

"The scavenger is a fool, and the Orion family has little human interaction." Shen Zhiyan smiled bitterly: "Isn't this obvious enough?" Can't ask anything. What we thought of, people were one step ahead. ”

"That ......"

"What did the one who kept denouncing his daughter-in-law say?" Shen Zhiyan asked.

"Living daughter-in-law." Yao Lin followed his question and answered, and immediately reacted: "Oh! Right! "Since she said that she was a living daughter-in-law, she must have been found from the pile of the dead. A fool only cares about saving people, how will he know that he has to report to the official?

The case is confusing and mixed. The forces behind it are staggered, each with its own position. Thinking about this, Shen Zhiyan's expression became more and more solemn, and he understood more and more that the death of the sixth princess was not an accident.

"Where's the ring?" He wanted to ask Shen Zhizhang, who turned his head, but heard him ask in a trance: "When that fool picked up Xiaohuan, was she unconscious or awake?" ”

"Huh?" Yao Lin hesitated for a moment and recalled: "I said that I was in a coma when I brought it back, and I still had a breath, but I never woke up." ”

"Since it is in a coma, how can a fool know that people are alive?" Shen Zhizhang's eyes rolled, and he looked at Yao Lin slowly: "To distinguish between life and death, ordinary people still need to distinguish the breath and check the pulse, how does he know that he is a fool?" ”

"Besides." Shen Zhizhang slowly stood up, still with a sluggish expression, and said: "Xiaohuan is still alive, which means that they haven't met a wild wolf when the fool picked up Xiaohuan." Isn't it better to pick up three daughters-in-law than to pick one? ”

"This ...... yes" Yao Lin patted his head, raised his foot and walked out: "Grandpa, you say, I'll go and arrest people back!" ”

Yao Lin said and rushed out in a hurry.

After he left, without waiting for Shen Zhiyan to speak, Shen Zhizhang raised his hand to wipe his face, and reluctantly cheered up and took the lead in saying, "Big brother, I have figured things out." The death of the sixth princess is not a threat to me, but a punishment of the heart, the heart of the emperor. It is not the crown prince who does things, it may be the second prince, or there may be someone else. ”

Ever since he knelt and waited in the main hall of the Qinzheng Pavilion, where the hall was empty and quiet, it was rare for Shen Zhizhang to calm down and sort out all the things that had happened recently.

From the escape of the second prince, to the fanfare investigation of the court, to all the clues pointing to the crown prince, and then to the receipt of a threatening letter that the sixth princess had an accident. Everything is like a pre-paved road, as if there is a hand behind it, pushing everyone on this path of light and darkness.

Now that the second prince is treasonous, he may frame the prince out of revenge and kill the sixth princess to punish the emperor. Or maybe there is someone else behind him, provoking the prince and the second prince to fight each other, and finally reap the benefits of the fisherman.

And Shen Zhizhang is a chess piece that is used.

"No matter what." Shen Zhizhang raised his eyes to look at Shen Zhiyan, and said word by word: "This time the prince can't escape." Xiaohuan was deliberately sent to the emperor by someone. ”
